Near Vision Presbyopia
As we age, the lenses in our eyes lose their elasticity, resulting in blurred near vision. This process happens to everyone, making common, every day tasks like reading instructions, menus, and documents troublesome. This can often cause people to resort to reading glasses as an alternative to the blurry, unfocused jumble of words they see when not wearing them.
Alternatives to reading glasses do exist, and the optometrists at Gailey Eye Clinic are trained in helping people find the solutions that work best for them. Among your treatment options are:
- NearVision CK, a quick and effective solution that uses radio frequency energy to reshape the cornea, allowing more light to enter the eye and immediately improving vision
- Multifocal intraocular lenses are artificial lenses that can replace your natural lenses for increased eyesight
- Cataract surgery, in patients with cataracts in addition to nearsightedness, can improve vision
Many options exist to help restore the vision you have lost due to ageing. The optometrists at Gailey Eye Clinic will work closely with you to determine which options best suit your needs.
Even if your eyesight has always been perfect, near vision presbyopia is an unavoidable part of life. But unlike the condition, your choices of treatment are completely within your control.
If you live in Central Illinois and are troubled by any decrease in your vision, please contact Gailey Eye Clinic today to set up an initial consultation and review your treatment options.
